The origin of the Marqués de Murrieta winery is linked to the origin of Rioja wine. Its founder, the Marquis de Murrieta, brought the Bordeaux elaboration techniques to Spain, made his first wine in 1852 in Logroño and settled in the Ygay Estate. Located in the heart of Rioja, this farm houses the Ygay Castle, home of the Marqués de Murrieta wineries, surrounded by 300 hectares of surrounding vineyards.
Navajas Rioja Reserva is produced by Bodegas Navajas, a family-owned winery in the village of Navarrete, Rioja Alta. Founded in 1918, each generation has been producing quality wines. The modern facilities include three ageing cellars for 10,000 barrels and a bottle ageing cellar for 200,000 bottles, both of which are equipped with the latest technology. Some say their Jovens taste like Crianzas and their Crianzas taste like Reservas!
Created in 1973 and situated on the outskirts of Logroño in Rioja Alta, Bodegas Olarra’s winery is known locally as “the Cathedral of La Rioja”. The clay and chalky soil of the vineyard is watered by both the rain and the river Ebro, while the area also benefits from warm sunshine and the climatic influence of the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts.
Bodegas Riojanas treasures more than a century of winemaking tradition in its Cenicero winery. Its corners are steeped in history and talk of the passion for ageing wines that has always permeated it. This tradition and passion have been transmitted to the team that runs Bodegas Riojanas today. Its most precious legacy is its commitment to quality and the personality of its wines.
